Ever wonder why conversations with your partner sometimes feel smooth… and other times turn into tug-of-war?
Dr. Sherod Miller breaks down the real reason: we all slip into different “communication styles.”
Small Talk / Shop Talk – the everyday stuff
Control Talk – taking charge, giving directions
Fight Talk – pushing, forcing, trying to change each other
Spite Talk – going “under the table,” the passive-aggressive zone
These patterns shape how we connect, resolve conflict, and move toward our goals together. The key question becomes:
👉 “What do I need to change in myself to get where I want to go… and create the relationship I truly want?”
This clip shows couples how quickly communication can shift — and how becoming aware of these styles is the first step to transforming the way you talk, listen, and love.
